Release 1.2.108

Jul 11, 2017 16 bit Texture Support

Defold 1.2.108

This release includes native extensions support for Windows, some fixes to our Collada scene support and Spine in GUI, updated SDKs for iPhoneOS and MacOSX, and added support for 16-bit texture formats.

SDK updates

16-bit Textures (RGB/A + Luminosity)

New 16-bit formats are added for RGB, RGBA and Luminosity with Alpha. These formats are accepted on all supported devices and also works with WebP compression. 16-bit RGBA is especially useful for Android applications using alpha textures, which otherwise have to resort to 32-bit RGBA taking twice the memory footprint.

Native Extensions

This sprint we've finished up the Windows support for native extensions as well as updated the iPhone/MacOSX SDK's. Next up is Linux support.
